Stop, drop and wtf is wrong with this code?

Is anyone else getting an error message

I made a list, added stop drop and roll, and the system is telling me that my work is incorrect. Wtf!?!

A preview of your code would help!

you must capitalize the first letter and not include the quotes

 <ol>

      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>

</ol>

The code challenge engine is very picky.

K, thanks. i'll give that a try.

Thanks; it worked

<ol>
    <li>stop</li>
    <li>drop</li>
    <li>roll</li>
</ol>

I tried both and they don't work am stuck, getting frustrated.

you are going to need to look at the markdown cheatsheet to see how to post code in the form, html tags wont show up without the proper markdown.

<ol> <li>Stop</li> <li>Run</li> <li>Roll<li> </ol>

      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Run</li>
      <li>Roll<li>
      </ol>```

the list items should be

 <ol>

      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>

</ol>

``

not 

<ol>

  <li>Stop</li>
  <li>Run</li>
  <li>Roll</li>

</ol>

      <li>Run</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
      </ol>```
      <li>Run</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
      </ol>```
    <li>Stop</li>
    <li>Run</li>
    <li>Roll</li>

    </ol>```

It doesn't work.

    <li>Stop</li>
    <li> Drop</li>
    <li> Roll</li>

   </ol>```

Oops... Drop doesn't work either...

It worked. Thanks
